A Banquet of the Gods

From Sigmund Freud and Michel Foucault to Hannah Arendt and Virginia Woolf, the iconic Pelican imprint has published some of the most important thinkers of the past century since it was launched in 1937. Now the new Pelican Archive series brings together an eclectic range of thirty little books – on zen Buddhism, critical theory, agenda-setting politics, birdwatching and more – selected from the best of the imprint’s nine decades of publishing.
